The Superfood, Leveled Up 🌱

You already know chia seeds are a superfood. Now imagine all those nutrients in a living, green microgreen form. Chia microgreens deliver omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, and calcium in a way that's even more bioavailable than the seed itself.

The flavor is mild and slightly nutty, making chia microgreens one of the most versatile varieties we grow. They blend seamlessly into smoothies, disappear into salads, and add a nutritional boost to any meal without changing the taste.

If you're looking for maximum nutrition with minimum flavor disruption, chia microgreens are your answer. The ultimate stealth superfood.

"What if you could get the nutrition of a superfood smoothie from a simple handful of greens?" 🤔

FOR CHEFS & WELLNESS CAFÉS

How Working Chefs Use Chia Microgreens

The most mild-flavored microgreen we grow, plus the omega-3 and complete-protein density of the seed. Chia microgreens are the chef's stealth nutrition boost.

🥣

Smoothie Bowl and Yogurt Parfait Topper

Wellness cafés use chia microgreens as the photogenic green crown on açai bowls, smoothie bowls, and yogurt parfaits. The microgreen form layers omega-3s and complete protein on top of the chia seeds already in the base. Brunch theater plus brunch nutrition.

🥑

Avocado Toast and Tartine Garnish

The mild nutty flavor of chia microgreens complements avocado without competing. Avocado toast, smoked salmon avocado tartine, mashed pea tartine, ricotta tartine. The omega-3 plus avocado fat combination is a brain-food breakfast that reads as restaurant.

🌾

Buddha Bowl and Grain Bowl Lift

A scatter on top of quinoa, farro, or brown rice bowls delivers complete protein and omega-3s in microgreen form. The mild flavor lets the dressing and main proteins lead, while the chia microgreens add a quiet nutritional boost.

🌿

Pesto and Herb Sauce Base

Substituting half the basil in a pesto with chia microgreens delivers an omega-3-rich green sauce that holds 7 days under oil. Use on pasta, sandwiches, eggs, or grilled fish. The chia flavor stays mild and lets the garlic, cheese, and nuts lead.

SHELF LIFE & STORAGE

How Long Do Chia Microgreens Last?

2 to 3 weeks refrigerated in a sealed container at 38 to 40 °F. Up to three times longer than most retail microgreens, because we harvest the morning of delivery.

❄️

Refrigerate Immediately

Place the clamshell or bag in the crisper drawer the moment they arrive. The omega-3 fats hold best cold.

💨

Seal With a Paper Towel

Lay a dry paper towel underneath if transferring. Wicks excess moisture and keeps the leaves crisp through the full 3 weeks.

🌡️

Keep Them Above Freezing

Do not freeze. Ice crystals rupture the cell walls and the omega-3 oils oxidize when thawed. Standard fridge temperature (38 to 40 °F) is ideal.

Tip: blend a fresh batch into pesto around day 10 to extend the omega-3 chia flavor into a sauce that holds another week refrigerated under oil.
